So much for Bell launching the BlackBerry Torch (9800) on September 24th. On their website, the date has changed to October 1st - a week later than the other two major carriers. But, you never know maybe Bell isn't the only carrier delaying the launch until the 1st of October. The Torch pricing stays the same: $199.95 on a 3-year contract and $599.95 contract-free. Check it out on Bell.

Dell is rumoured to be launching two notebooks sometime this Fall. They'll both be a part of the Studio XPS line, the XPS 15 and XPS 17. The Studio XPS 15 will reportedly feature up to 8GB of RAM and up to a 750GB HDD; the XPS 17 will feature up to 16GB of RAM and up to a 1.2TB HDD. Both notebooks will pack Intel Core i7 CPU options and some kind of Nvidia GPU. No, it's not what you see above that's actually a Studio XPS 16. Like the XPS 13 and the XPS 16 they should be pretty sexy.

Telus has just put up the pre-order page for the BlackBerry Torch (9800) if you want to check it out. The smartphone from RIM will be available next Friday, September 24th, and is arguably the best BlackBerry to date. This smartphone packs a 3.2-inch touchscreen display, a 5MP camera, a slide-up QWERTY keyboard, and OS 6.0 which comes with the new and improved WebKit browser. Check it out on Telus.

Samsung just held their event in New York and it's great news for absolutely everyone in North America. The company announced that their Galaxy Tab will be hitting the major four carriers in the US, that means AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint, and Verizon. The tablet sports a 7-inch touchscreen display (1,024 x 600 resolution), a 1GHz Hummingbird CPU, and Android 2.2 Froyo. The whole spec sheet has already been covered (here) if you're interested. Yes, there'll be a WiFi model for those who don't want to pay a contract with 3G connectivity. There's no 4G model for Sprint in case you're wondering. Release dates and pricing are still unknown.

Update: According to Mobile Syrup, this tablet will also be available on Bell and Rogers in Canada. The exact pricing and release date is unknown, all they've said is that it'll be available "in the coming months".

Update: According to another Engadget post, the Galaxy Tab will not have phone functionalities and that's some sad, sad news.

ViewSonic has just unveiled their latest Android tablet and it may look like some of their ViewPad tablet but it's not so pay attention. Dubbed the G Tablet, it features a 10-inch touchscreen display (1,024 x 600 resolution), Nvidia's Tegra 2 chip, 1GB of RAM, USB / HDMI ports, Bluetooth 2.1 / WiFi 802.11n support, 16GB of internal storage, a 1.3MP webcam, and Android 2.2. Apparently, this tablet will be ready for the market sometime in October for $529 which likely puts it under the unlocked price of the Samsung Galaxy Tab. Who knows how well it will do though. Check out the video below!

As expected, the BlackBerry Curve 3G (9300) is now available on SaskTel in Canada. This smartphone has been available on other carriers for a while now but it's good to see that RIM has launched this smartphone on more carriers. The Curve 3G packs a 2.4-inch display, a QWERTY keyboard, a 2MP camera, WiFi / GPS support, a microSD card slot, and OS 5.0 (OS 6.0 upgrade in the future). check it out at Jump where you can get one for $50 on a 3-year contract and $375 contract-free.

Asus is just about to launch a few notebooks in the US and the first one is the monstrous 18.4-inch NX90J notebook. This will be available before October with a $2,299 price tag so it's pretty expensive. For users looking for a cheaper notebook, the company will also be releasing their N53JF notebook (above). This one will be available for $999 and will feature a 15-inch display, an Intel Core i5 CPU, GeForce GT425 graphics, and some Bang & Olufsen inspiration. Last, but not least, there's the Asus ROG G73Jw which is a gaming notebook. This will be available later this month for $1,799.

We could be just about a month away from the Windows Phone 7 based HTC HD7 smartphone. The accessory list pictured above has just leaked out and says that a bunch of gear for the HD7 will be available on November 1st. This hints at the phone being available before or around that date. This is great news for everyone who's into high-end smartphones, call them superphones if you want. In case you forgot, earlier this month it was rumoured that this smartphone would be launching on October 18th so maybe that launch is still in effect.

Something a bit interesting has just hit the FCC and it's the HTC PD53100. Engadget believes that the handset in question is the Qualcomm Brew-based F8181 handset that will be going to AT&T sometime in the future. This handset will be a decent addition to AT&T's mid-end phone line-up because Brew-based handsets are pretty rare in this day and age.
